I was thinking about having a doula for a support during this BIG DAY of my life. My husband was not sure, that I need one, but after the labor he agreed with me, that it was a good idea. Not everything went according to my 'birth plan' (basically nothing), but she was always very supportive and at the end I am happy with the way the labor went and enjoying my beautiful and healthy baby girl. I believe every woman should have a supportive person that knows what is happening and can be an advocate and a voice of a woman in labor. Doctor and nurses cannot be with you the entire time. It's good that somebody would be. For us it was Sue Kelly. Susanne Kelly was recommended to me and I'm glad she was there with us and for us. I would choose her again.
